Mackenzie lecture in Politics In the past 5 years England and Scotland have seen major political changes following the political mobilisation of identity attachments. In both countries we have witnessed a realignment of politics away from class and economic questions and towards nationalism and identity questions, a process which was accelerated by the referendum votes intended to resolve such questions. In both this realignment has hit the Labour party hardest while the Conservative party has better adapted to the new environment. Rob Ford considers the similarities and differences of these two political realignments, the reasons why the Labour party has been hurt most by the rise of identity politics, and the implications for the approaching general election. http://www.gla.ac.uk/stevensontrust/
